Here is my card for the 15 challenge at enjoyMichaelStrongstamps Yahoo Group
The challenge requires to create a card with exactly 15 elements - no more, no less - and to use any Michael Strong's stamp (the card's basis doesn't count as one of the 15 elements).
When I read the challenge's requirements, the idea popped into my head right away.
I just love Michael Strong's stamps, as you could have noticed.
And what's the symbol of love? A heart, of course.
So I created the main motif - a heart made of flowers.
There are 14 flowers, and the heart itself is the 15th element.
It may seem very simple but it required some work.
I like its minimalist, clean look, as it enables to focus on the main motif.
Don't forget, sometimes less is more…
Ingredients:
Light blue leather textured CS for the card's basis
Red leather textured CS
Michael Strong's Cloisonné Flower Stamp (small)
Stazon ink - Black
Double sided foam tape
The heart
I stamped Michael Strong's Cloisonné Flower on red leather textured CS with black Stazon ink, 14 times.
I cut out 14 identical flowers, using TH scissors.
I arranged the flowers in a heart shape, and glued them one by one directly onto the card's basis.
I glued them 3D, using double sided foam tape, for extra dimension.
Tomorrow, April 1st, is my birthday, so I'm having a little Giveaway for my readers. Stay tuned…
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed.
Have a creative day! Dorly

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Dorly, very clever. It's been quite hard sticking to/achieving 15 elements for this challenge! I love the simplicity of the design and yet each element, being the lovely cloisonné stamp, is quite beautifully complex in itself.
ReplyDeleteVery striking card! Neat idea too!
